Drew Tyler Bell did a great job with his confession scenes...it really makes sense for Thomas to be the one who wanted to incinerate Rick...I sure hope he gets away with it, good actor, good character, it would be horrible to lose either one in honor of Kyle Lowder.

Morgan Fairchild would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great on B&B. The fact is the show needs someone who can be a real menace to everyone. Lesley Anne Down, although enjoyable, isn't capable of that (now, if they brought on Joan Collins as her mother, well I'd be on board with that!)

Although my preference is to bring back Lauren Koslow's Margo Lynley (simply because she has show ties already and thus would have great 'flashback potential') Morgan Fairchild would be terrific. Morgan is 59, looks great (thanks to her own doing, she is a smart lady and is well educated when it comes to aging) and can sell it. She isn't a snob, has done daytime before, is professional and a very hard worker.

I'm all about Ms Fairchild. She likes to work (like most 50 something actresses who are still attractive AND professional, she does a few guest shots a year, Chuck Lorre is a fan of hers)...she's also very involved in SAG as a board member.

Yes, yes, absolutely. You hit the nail on the head.

B&B is in desperate need of trashy, hyper-drama, business intrigue & strong female leads - someone gorgeous or someone who isn't but can emit gorgeousness, over-the-top, gigantic hats and all that.

It has been said many times: soaps are about clichés, clichés always sell and if someone can cook up a great, several months long arc with Morgan Fairchild as a centerpiece, then it's all you need. And more.

I kinda like it.

But I wish they would have just sucked it up and took the picture together. Cast pictures are supposed to be like class pictures in a way. You get everyone bundled together, you show off your best smile, etc. It's supposed to be a unity thing as opposed to a collage and fancy art.

The best cast pictures to date are the 20th Anniversary One, the one with everyone piled at the stairs, and the one from the first year, with everyone in the Forrester Living Room.

Last year, they photographed the cast at the Bell mansion, around the pool, etc. Those photos were GORGEOUS.

I wish the show would scrap the [!@#$%^&*]-ass opening it has now and reinstate the old one -- using the shots from that shoot in the stills.

I like the press release photo -- it looks very Dynasty! Albeit somewhat photoshopped. Hunter is channeling Alexis big-time! Jack Wagner looks like a Vegas lounge act.

:lol: Seriously! He looks like he's saying "Now. This song is dedicated to my closepersonalfriend Tony Bennett."

LAD is all "Where'd my pashmina go?"

And Winsor and Lesli's heads look like they were superimposed on other people's bodies. It is so obvious!

Yes. Yes, Yes, YES.

It needs someone who continuously says "darling" and "fabulous," it needs a diva with tons of make-up, ridiculous hats, fur-wraps, and long, red nails. Who says: "Bitch!" and "I'll DESTROY you, if it's the LAST thing I do!" all the time. Fairchild was BORN for this stuff!

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.
    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
